    Redsox07 replied to dandk1997RN's topic in Western Governors University

    I wish you best of luck with this, too. I've noticed it's hard to get good info about WGU to NP. I am just about finished with my BSN at WGU. I'm hoping WGU is able to offer NP sooner or later....

  11. To take at local community college or when I'm at WGU?

    Redsox07 replied to pmabraham's topic in Western Governors University

    Take it through WGU or somewhere similar. One thing I think is not really written much about all the money saved by going to school online. - I can not believe how much time and energy I am saving...

    Redsox07 replied to meanmaryjean's topic in Western Governors University

  15. RN to MSN for the new RN

    Redsox07 replied to tecj's topic in Western Governors University

    I think you'll be fine. And I think just about any future employer would agree - you are doing the right thing. I really, really love the flexibility of WGU. All kinds of things have happened in...

  16. Community 228 Class WGU

    Redsox07 replied to Veritas10134's topic in Western Governors University

    Take the two different pre-tests and study the focused reviews. You may do better than you think. I found the focused review very helpful even though (unlike Nutrition) this was definitely a course...

    Redsox07 replied to PacoUSA's topic in Travel
